...y favorite season is winter, because during the winter is hunting season and it snows. My favorite part of winter is duck hunting and playing in the snow with my friends. Waking up early and get to have a nice long boat ride, and spend the day with good friends and family. The winter is my favorite season because it is cold and snows sometimes. During the cold winter I get to do what I love which is wake up early and spend the day out on the marsh and have a great time with great friends. The cold air on my face during the boat ride wakes me up and gets the blood pumping. Putting the decoys out in the 20 degree water is the hardest part about the hunt. Wearing no gloves and wet hands don’t go so well during the winter. I love watching the sun...

...Here at Gulf Coast Academy Charter Schools the language arts program is my favorite. Each year the classes are interesting and engaging with a series a series of amazing books. Always remember to follow along with the book or risk failing the test that you will have each Friday. The test will review the previous chapter you have read so far. In language arts if you happen to fail a test you can stay after on language designated clinic days to repair the grade to at least a seventy percent. One of the Language Arts teacher at Gulf Coast Charter Schools says, “The best book the incoming sixth grade class will be reading is The Watson’s go to Birmingham, because it teaches you a lot about the civil rights movement.” You will have many writing assignments. One of the...

...can't hold a candle to the the smell of a brand new book (which, by the way, is my favorite scent in the world). To be completely honest, I don't know what makes me love the scent of crisply ironed cotton or satin. But if I could guess, I would infer that it comes from the association to fabric stores and memories of walking into one. When I was younger, and still now, it was a mix of the vibrant colors, the possibilities behind each, and aroma given off. I can't honestly say that my love of sewing is a love that "has been there for as long as I can remember." In fact, I can date the start of my...

...Well, mine is a cell phone. It lets you talk, access the internet, play games and much more. A cell phone comes in handy in times like emergencies. Most defiantly so you can call the ambulance, police or even the fire department. Just in case of things happen like fires, robberies or even wrecks, you will have something handy to get a hold of the emergency help. The cell phone will change your life in ways that can be either good or bad. On a cell phone there is a thing called texting. Texting is a different way of communicating instead of calling someone. You can type a message on your phones keyboard, put in an address (as in a phone number) to who you would like to send a message to and press send and that person will receive the message on their phone. Of course either person can choose to just call at any time, but more than likely the text messages will go back in forth. Texting is popular now a day considering it is a teen’s favorite way to talk to each other. Some teens bully others through texting and is currently one of the most common ways of bullying today. Forward, are types of messages that you can send to someone to see what he or she may think of you, to see if they have something to ask you or even to tell you about an important, even that might be coming up. Some cell phones, but not all, have internet. Like my phone is an Android and you can hook up to someone’s WiFI if it’s not locked and you can check your Facebook, e-mail, or even look up videos on You-Tube...

...Survey of World Literature February 7, 2013 Paper #1 I am writing a paper on King Lear, focusing on the main reason for his “fall” in the play. King Lear falls for power, so what is the reason for it? Does Lear end up deserving his fate? Or is he just blind to what is going on around him? Lear was a high respected aging king of British. He had three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Codelia, who he is dividing the kingdom into before he passes. Before he does so, he wanted to put in daughters through a test. He wants to know how much his daughters love him the most and which one would be great to take his place when the time comes. So he asks all his daughters how much they love him. Both Goneril and Regan, (which are his older daughters) lie to him. They tell King Lear that they love him more than anything and that they would be great to take over the kingdom in due time. He waits to hear from his youngest daughter, Cordelia (which is his favorite daughter), she is quiet at first then tells him she loves him like a regular daughter should love her father. “Nothing more; nothing less” she says. At that point King Lear becomes very angry, disappointed and immediately disowns Cordelia at sight because she did not say what Lear expected to hear from her. Deep down, King Lear was crushed and upset. He loved Cordelia very much, that was his favorite daughter out of them all. So when she told him that she loved him regular, at that moment he felt let down and started changing his...

...Think about having to quit your favorite thing to do, or be in pain. The thing you’ve been working for your whole life. The thing you’d give anything to do. It was probably the hardest decision I’ve ever made. I like being athletic more than anything, and that’s why it was so hard. The hardest decision I ever made was to keep playing or to quit football. This decision came up when I started getting pain in my knee last year. Deciding whether or not to quit doing it after years of playing is so difficult even if you’re hurt. Think of the only thing that makes you happy, and just never do it again or be in pain doing it. That’s how I felt. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made, and it was the wrong decision. I choose to quit football. I...

...Born Worker Review I thought born worker was a pretty good story. I liked the whole story. It gave great details and made you feel like you were cleaning that pool. The story didn't bore. Right when it started to get boring something would happen and the action would rise. Which is why I decided to write a literary response on this story. Why don't they tell you how Mr. Clemens did. For all we know he very well could of died. I wish it would of told how he ended up doing. I also wanted to know how much the boys got paid. If they were making all this money how much money were they really getting. Those were the things i really wished they could've mentioned in the story. My favorite part was probably when the end. Where Mr....

...One thing that stands out to me in this section of King’s book is his mention of his favorite place and telepathy. First of all, I have yet to find my favorite place. I agree with King in the respect that a favorite place should be quiet, have good lighting, be comfortable yet not too comfortable, and lend to assisting us in being descriptive enough to paint a picture with fuzzy lines. I say fuzzy lines, because a writer needs to be able to explain and paint a picture, enabling the reader to use their imagination, making the story their own. Imagination and inventiveness on the part of the reader enables the reader to fall into their own resourceful fantasy, permanently connecting them to the writer’s story, their own story. The writer wins. Sometimes my favorite place is anywhere there’s quiet. No television, no phone ringing or doorbell chiming, no water or refrigerator running, put simply, no interruptions. Other times, sitting outside in the fresh air with the sun warming my skin and the birds singing their songs, I feel as though I’m one with nature, my thoughts being channeled into a world that can only be described by a beautiful painting, beautiful melodic music, or a compilation of beautiful words. This is usually just a dream, because someone is always mowing or using their leaf blower, and the...

Thor: Ragnarok also came out this year and they ruined his perfect hair by cutting it off!! I made sure that I did not miss out on any of the fun at the four high school Dances this school year.

...effort, and many different components that directors have to put into making great movies. These components can include things such as the quality of the acting, setting, plot, characters, and scenery. A mess up in just one of these areas can ruin an entire film. One of my favorite movies of all time, that I feel has a perfect combination of these components, is The Little Rascals. It is such a cute and quirky film, and it’s perfect for people of any age! The Little Rascals is a 1994 movie that follows the childhood adventures of “The He Man Woman Haters Club.” Spanky, leader of the club, and the rest of the gang are trying to raise money to rebuild their clubhouse, which tragically burned down at the start of the movie due to some of their usual crazy antics. They hit some bumps along the road, such the typical childhood bullies, Butch and Woim, who are really just jealous they never got to be members of the club. Their hard work pays off and leaves the audience happy in the end because they accomplish their goal, and the gang gets a new clubhouse better than the one before. The main actors and actresses in this movie are children that are not even ten years old. It is amazing to watch how great they are at acting. These children captivate the audience’s heart. It was very hard for me not to fall in love with each one of them. My favorite character is Alfalfa. He plays the typical boy that tries to act cool in front of his friends, but Alfalfa is really...

...Final Essay #2 Final Essay #2 This song is about a little boy and girl who became best friends at a very young age and fell in love. The girl moved into the big and blue two-story house across the street from the little boy and his family. It was just her mom and she, a rather small family but they were very close. The little boy lived in a smaller house with a younger brother, a mom, and a dad. He had a tree house in his backyard that had been built by his dad and a pool, very convenient for the kids in the summer time. When the little girl moved in it was right before school started for the kids in August and that is when they first met. She was 7 and he was 9 years old. The boy was out in the yard playing football with the other boys in the neighborhood, he saw the little girl sitting on the back of her moms’ red Ford truck. He walks over to her and asks if she wanted to join their game and she agrees. Every day after that it was like that. The boy would walk over to her house and ask her to come outside and play and she would without hesitating. After that they spent all their free time together, every summer, spring break, and weekends just him and her, together. They were always doing something active and he would make dinner for her at least two or three times a week because her family was poor; so he wanted to take care of her. The moms and dads would joke and say they would grow up, fall in love, and be a couple someday. But as kids they were just best...

...Il gioco di Mario What is that one thing that helps relieve my stress? Helps me to refocus when a big test is on the way or finals week is approaching or possibly something is just really stressful. There is that game for everyone, whether it is a board game, a video game, or a game some friends made up. Everyone has their own game that they play; for me, it is Mario. The game Mario is special to me for reasons like the game in general, the many versions of Mario, and how it brought my family together. Now the background of the game Mario is sort of generic, but with its own twist to it. The story begins with the two main characters, Mario and Princess Peach. Mario is an Italian plumber who resides in the Mushroom Kingdom, with his brother named Luigi. Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach and Mario fall in love, which makes Bowser upset. Bowser is the leader and most powerful of the Koopa race, a turtle-like creature. Because of Bowser’s jealousy and anger, he decides to capture the princess. After this happens, Mario chases them throughout many worlds and levels to save Peach. Along the way to save Princess Peach, Mario is assisted by a bunch of other characters: Luigi, Yoshi, and Toad. One of my favorite things about Mario is the many different power-ups that Mario can get. He can get a mushroom that...

Previous to this visit I had never gone to any other museums aside from those that are located on campus, so it was a whole new experience for me. After going into the museum and taking a look around I was surprised to see the variety of work that they had accumulated. I especially enjoyed the new branch that was added the held the new additions of contemporary art. My favorite pieces of art were the ones that took photographs and then added touches to them to make them unique and I particularly enjoyed observing the artwork where the artist manipulated mirrors to make different allusions depending on how you looked at them.
